    Air Force Weighs Scrapping A-10 Replacement

    When asked whether the service is taking steps to develop a single-role “A-X,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein said “not yet.”

    So does that mean a single-mission CAS platform will eventually go away? “Maybe,” Goldfein says.

    “I don’t disagree that a single-role platform sets an incredibly high bar for the rest of the force,” he said during a wide-ranging interview with Aviation Week July 16. “But remember, [combatant commanders] have got the entire spectrum of conflict that I’ve got to support, from the highest end, the lowest end and everything in between, and I’ve got a certain amount of money that I’ve got to use to build the best Air Force that money can buy.”

    If I were a bettin man, I would guess hydroplaning mixed with winds.  There were some wicked downpours/storms rolling through the Dayton area that day.  Either way we'll know when the SIB/AIB are released.  Glad no-one was seriously hurt.    

    I cant find it now, but there is a video floating around somewhere, showing the jet in two peices on a flatbed.  They cut it between the two cockpits.  

     

    Speculation from an eyewitness it was a hydroplane. WHIOTV7's website

    Are y'all talking about the OTS board (16OT02) or the upt board for those who have already commissioned in another AFSC looking to pick up a pilot slot?

    Is this for the 16ot02 rated board? Anticipated release date March 4th? When would civilians find out?

    The Civilian OTS board results aren't anticipated to be released until March 4th. I believe this thread (and please correct me if I am wrong) is exclusively talking about Active Duty personnel applying for UPT.
